Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage
(81) As a supplier of most of most of the food we eat and of raw materials for any industrial processes, agriculture is clearly an important area of the economy. But the industrial performance of agriculture the relative efficiency of agricultural production compared to other areas in the economy is even more important than this. For in nations where the productivity of farmers is low, most of the working population is need to raise food and few people are available the production of investment goods or for other activities required for economic growth. Indeed, one of the factors related most loosely to the per capita income (人均收入)of a nation is the fraction of its population engaged in farming .In the poorest nations of the world more than half of the population lives on farms. This compares sharply with less than 10 percent in western Europe and less than 4 percent in the United states.

Passage two
Questions 46to 50 are based on the following passage
In ancient times the most important examinations were spoken, not written. In the schools of ancient Greece and Rome, testing usually consisted of saying poetry aloud or giving speeches.
(82) In the European universities of the Middle Ages, students who were working for advanced degrees had to discuss questions in their field of study with people who had made a special study of the subject. This custom exists today as part of the process of testing candidates for the tor’s degree.
Generally, however, modern examinations are written. The written examination, where all students are tested on the same question, was probably not known until the nineteenth century. Perhaps it came into existence with the great increase in population and the development of modern industry. A room full of candidates for a state examination, timed exactly by electric clocks and carefully watched over by managers, resembles a group of workers at an automobile factory. Generally, during examinations teachers and students are expected to act like machines.
One type of test is sometimes called an “objective” test. It is intended to deal with facts, not personal opinions. To make up an objective test the teacher writes a series of questions, each of which has only one correct answer. Along with each question the teacher writes the correct answer and also three statements that look like correct answers to students who have not learned the material properly.

At 26, Jane Goodall had no college education or science training. But since childhood, she had been dreaming of working closely with animals in Africa. “All through my childhood people said you can’t go to Africa. You’re a girl,” Goodall says. But my mother used to say, if you really want to, there’s nothing you can’t do.”
In 1957, the 26-year-old Goodall journeyed to Kenya to work as a secretary. She also arranged to meet the famous scientist Louis Leakey, who was so impressed by her enthusiasm that he hired her as his assistant. She went with him on many trips to the African jungle (丛林) and in 1960 Leakey sent Goodall to live among chimpanzees in a remote animal preserve (禁猎地), recording the animals’ behavior and interactions.
For there months Goodall made little progress. But she says, “I never came close to giving up.” Her breakthrough came one day when she saw a male chimpanzee stick a blade of grass into a termite (白蚁) hill, then put the grass in his mouth. Afterward she approached the hill and did the same. Pulling the grass out, she discovered dozens of termites clinging to it. The discovery—that some animals use tools—was unknown to most scientists at the time.
Goodall saw chimpanzees exhibit human-like emotions, such as jealousy and love. But she also discovered they were capable of violent attacks against each other.
(85)Goodall received her Ph.D. in the study of animal behavior at England’s Cambridge University. Now she travels around the globe raising money to preserve wildlife. “I love begin in the forest with the chimps,” she says. “I’d much rather be there than traveling around from city to city.”

B. Her dream would remain a dream unless she got the right training
C. As a girl she should stay away from violent animals
D. She could make her dream come true if she was determined
58. Goodall’s most important discovery is that .
A. some animals use tools B. like humans animals have emotions
C. chimpanzees could attack each other violently D. termites are chimpanzees’ favorite food
59. Goodall’s success is chiefly due to .
A. her exceptional talents B. scientific training
C. determination and patience D. her enthusiasm and good luck
